Heat U12 squad finish 1-1 up in Medford

On Sunday, June 24 the Siskiyou Heat U12 softball team split a doubleheader in Medford against the Black Tornados U12 team.

The Heat won the first game 7-5 behind the pitching of Quincie Cross who allowed only two hits and struck out five.

Cami Brooks hit a home run and double and Cross helped her own cause with a triple.

The Heat lost the second game 11-6.

Katie White pitched and the Heat went into the last inning tied 6-6. However, several errors, including a walk and a hit batter led to a big five run inning for the Tornados.

Heat coach Bill Pieruccini complimented the w way his team pitched on Sunday.

"Both pitchers worked in the county All-Star games the previous day and still worked hard," Pieruccini said. "Cami Brooks remains strong with a bat and behind the plate. We need to work on defense we are giving away too many outs but we will be working on that."
